Since the '60's, high-end speaker makers have been striving to transcend technology and art, or at least multi-function furniture, out of the otherwise very scientific loudspeaker. Some of these designs have been astounding to behold but few, if any, were very likely to make an appearance anywhere near your home or office. On the opposite side of the audio/art spectrum are the poorly designed, cheaply built "multimedia" or "computer" speakers that sound and look horrible but are at least small, easy to use and more likely to be sitting next to your computer or iPod.
